In order to align with other FTSE Partnership indices, and after ratification by the FTSE/JSE Advisory Committee at their meeting on 11 December 2013, FTSE/JSE confirms that it will extend the implementation notice period for the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series to give clients an extra 5 business days' notice to prepare for the trades involved following each review from March 2014.

To accommodate the extended implementation notice period for the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series, the data cut-off date for determining index inclusions and exclusions will also change.?
